    Abstract:
    Background Bromodihydrochlorophenylbenzodiazepine (Phenazepam®) is used in the therapy of anxiety disorders in patients with alcohol dependence. However, Phenazepam therapy often turns out to be ineffective, and some patients develop dose-related adverse drug reactions (ADR): severe sedation, dizziness, headache, dyspepsia, falling, etc. That ensures the effectiveness of this category of patients. Despite the popularity of Phenazepam® as an anxiolytic drug, there is currently no accurate data on its biotransformation, as well as the effect of polymorphism of a gene on the efficacy and safety of bromodihydrochlorophenylbenzodiazepine in patients. The aim of our study was to study the effect of the polymorphism of the CYP2C19 gene on the efficacy and safety index of Phenazepam® for patients with anxiety disorders, using algorithms for optimizing the therapy of Phenazepam® to reduce the risk of pharmacological resistance and increase the effectiveness of therapy. Methods The study was conducted on 86 Russian patients suffering from alcohol dependence. Patients with trauma anxiety disorders received bromdihydrochlorphenylbenzodiazepine in tablets at a dose of 4.0 [2.0; 6.0] mg per day for 5 days. Genotyping was carried out by the method of polymer chain reaction in real time with allele-specific hybridization. Efficiency and safety assessment was carried out using psychometric scales and scales of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) severity scores. Results Based on the results of the study, statistically significant differences in the number of scores on the scale of HADS severity of CYP2C19 CT on the third day of therapy were the following: (CC) 10.00 [9.00; 11.00], (CT) 14.00 [13.00; 16.00], (TT) 18.00 [17.00; 19.00], p=0.00, and also on the fifth day: (CC) 6.00 [5.00; 7.00], (CT) 17.50 [16.25; 19.75], (TT) 22.50 [20.00; 24.00], p=0.00. ADRs in patients with different genotypes for this polymorphic marker did not differ. Conclusions Thus, it has been shown that the polymorphism of the CYP2C19 gene may influence the effectiveness indices of Phenazepam therapy in patients with anxiety disorders comorbid with alcohol dependence. This should be taken into account in the appointment of this drug in this way in order to increase effectiveness of therapy and improve the quality of life.
